D P Mukerji’s Indian Culture is a tour de force of an amazing order. By taking us back to the dawns of Aryan civilization and the Vedas, and ending with a discussion on life style, the book unravels the story of India’s quest for roots and integrity. Every chapter is a mélange of the author’s rich and varied thoughts. The Partition of the country came as a jolt to his assumptions regarding Indian culture. Yet his last chapter, ‘The Immediate Problem’ provides for a ray of hope.
